A football field-sized balloon will carry a radio telescope to the stratosphere in 2027, with #QueensU students helping design the system that will get it there. Launching from Brazil, the mission will collect data alongside observatories in North America and Europe. Supported by the Canadian Space Agency, the project is giving students hands-on experience with the technical demands of high-altitude astronomy research. ➡️ Learn more: queensu.ca/gazette/storie… | @csa_asc

Wetlands play a quiet but powerful role in the #climate, storing carbon over long periods of time. However, when these landscapes are disturbed, that carbon can be released back into the atmosphere. #QueensU researcher Ian Strachan leads the Atmospheric and Environmental Research Lab, where his team studies these changes through fieldwork in wetlands across Canada. Working with undergraduate and graduate student researchers, they are contributing to a growing understanding of how wetlands respond to disturbance and helping inform how they are restored and managed. ➡️ Learn more: queensu.ca/gazette/storie… #EarthDay 🌎| #EarthDay2026 | #ClimateAction
